If you dont have the harmony
couldnt you generate an artwork with a photoplot window around the
item, then
after creating the artwork file
you could load artwork and place it on the class/subclass that you
wanted. I believe
this way it would construct a
single entity. Also....in 15.5.1 I tried to construct this similar
shape using four arcs
and four line segments, it
snapped them all together into one contiguous shape. Isn't this a new
feature for 15.5.1 ?
PTC has a tool called Harmony.It can
do this.

[PCB_FORUM] Construct single entity out of individual line sements
Hi all,
In Allegro, is there a way to construct a single entity out of
individual line sements? Such as board outline segments.
Also, is there a way to "Z copy" or copy "non-etch lines" to another
non-etch layer?
Z Copy wants Clines, shapes or closed polygons.
Current work around is to copy all lines to another location, then
Edit>Change>Lines to another layer. Than move it back to the
original location.
I just want to copy in the same location.
Thanks,
Mark
